MESSAGES OF THE MAYOR.
Mayor Workman sent in the fol-
lowing communication: Public parks
are the breathing places OF any
city, and besides being healthful re-
sorts for our permanent population,
thew tend in no small degree to attract
stran gers and beautify the general ap-
pearance of the city. The city pos
sesses three unimproved parks,
the Seventh street park, the East Los
Angeles park and the Elysian park,
which should be laid out and improved
this winter. | would therefore recon-
mend that your honorable body take
the necessary steps to submit to the
qualified voters of this city the ques-
ton of issuing $4,000 bonds for the
purpose of improving said parks" Re
ferred to Park Committee.
Mayor w orkman also sent in the fol-
lowing message: As our citizens will
soon be called upon to vote for the
issuance of more than three-quarters
of a million dollars in bonds, for the
purpose of properly sewering the city,
IL would seem to me advisable, at this
time, to submit the plans, etc., to
some committee or meeting OF citi-
zens, in order to get an expression
from them upon their merits.
would therefore recommend to your
honorable body that the plans, sur
veys, etc., of City Surveyor Eaton,
having the endorsement of Rudolf
Herring, Sanitary Engineer, be sub.
mitted to the Board of Trade OF this
city for its approval. The Board Of
Trade is composed of a body OF repre-
sentative and progressive men, who
take great interest in public matters.
and an endorsement from said body
would have great weight upon our
citizens at large. And would further
recommend that the City Surveyor be
instructed to present all surveys,
plans, etc. to said Board of Trade, for
examination. Received and filed.
